Gift cards are one of the best things to give during the holiday season – they’re thoughtful, practical, and allow the recipient to pick out something they truly love. Especially for things like teacher gifts, or where you don’t know the recipient super well, you can not go wrong with a gift card. But let’s face it, handing over a gift card without any presentation can feel a little impersonal.
That’s where these printable Christmas gift card holders come in! They’re the perfect way to turn a simple gift card into an extra special touch. Designed for easy DIY assembly, these cute gift card holders can be printed on white cardstock for a sturdy, polished look that’s sure to impress.

Whether you’re looking for a thoughtful way to thank your child’s teacher or a cheerful design for a family member, these printables are an easy solution to add holiday flair. Pair them with an Amazon gift card, one for their favorite teacher’s stores, or even a fun treat like a movie theater gift card or a coffee shop voucher like a Starbucks gift card.

Thank You, Teachers! Christmas Gift Card Holder
This design has been created especially for teacher appreciation gifts.

Whether it’s for teacher appreciation day or just a small way to say thanks to your kids’ teachers this Christmas. This holder adds a personal and thoughtful touch to a gift card that can be spent at your child’s teacher’s favorite stores.

How to Use These Printable Gift Card Holders
Using these printable gift card holders is so simple, and they’re sure to add a polished touch to your holiday gifts. First, download the digital file and print your chosen design on white cardstock.
To ensure the printable gift card holders are the correct size for a standard gift card, we recommend printing them on 8.5 x 11-inch paper (US Letter size). This is the standard size for most home printers and allows the design to include enough space for folding and cutting while fitting the dimensions of a typical gift card (approximately 2.125 x 3.375 inches).
Using cardstock makes the holder sturdier and gives it a professional, high-quality feel that regular paper just can’t match. Once printed, attach your gift card securely in the suggested space. You can also add a ribbon or tie it to a gift bag for an extra special touch. It’s such an easy way to present a thoughtful gift!

These DIY gift card holders make it so easy to create a thoughtful gift in minutes.
